Note that Boeing does not supply the engines for their passenger aircraft. (I think GE, Rolls-Royce and Pratt and Whitney supply the engines for the 767) It appears that the Boeing airframe protected passengers from the engine fire.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;General_Electric_CF6" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;General_Electric_CF6</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Rolls-Royce_RB211" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Rolls-Royce_RB211</a><p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Pratt_%26_Whitney_JT9D" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.m.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Pratt_%26_Whitney_JT9D</a>
